Abstract

John of Salisbury (ca.1120-1180) is one of the great figures of the Middle Ages. Born in England, he studied in France, where he attended the school of Chartres, there he was a student of Peter Abelard (1079-1142). On his return to England, he was secretary to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket (1118-1170). His conflict with King Henry II of England, which ended up leading to the assassination of the archbishop by the King's followers in Canterbury Cathedral, was decisive for John of Salisbury's political positions. The Policraticus, a work written in the Renaissance style of the twelfth century, reflects the political, philosophical and theological positions of the author and, since it was published, has generated a series of discussions and polemics. Among the controversial positions is the defense of tyrannicide. In this work, the objective is to present and analyze synthetically the practice of tyrannicide in Salisbury, drawing mainly on books III, IV, V and VIII of the Policraticus.
